This project, "CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Campus Network Enhancement to Support Data Intensive Research at the University of Alabama in Huntsville", establishes a high-performance campus network dedicated to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) scientific research community. Implementation of this project enables UAH researchers to perform leading edge research impacting the entire nation, particularly in the areas of big data management and analysis, space exploration and space science, cybersecurity, earth and atmospheric science, optical engineering, aerospace, and propulsion. Scientific research is not only vital to scientific discovery and UAH's expansion of undergraduate and graduate STEM education programs, the research done at UAH contributes to local, state, and national economic development and job creation.Many of the research initiatives at UAH involve the collection, analysis, visualization and sharing of large amounts of data, and include use of sensors and other real-time data sources. To better support data-intensive science, this project enables a fast, highly secure, and highly flexible network environment called a Science DMZ. The Science DMZ is comprised of both 100GE and 40GE connections between major research facilities on the UAH campus. By using Software Defined Networking (SDN) and OpenFlow, the network intelligently selects the Science DMZ exclusively for secure, protected research data flows. An expanded PerfSONAR implementation is utilized to monitor and continuously tune the Science DMZ network performance. Scientists and researchers experience a secure, friction-free network through the use of the UAH Science DMZ, further enabling future data-intensive research.

该项目名为“CC*DNI网络基础设施：校园网络增强以支持亨茨维尔亚拉巴马大学的数据密集型研究”，旨在为亨茨维尔亚拉巴马大学（UAH）科研界建立一个高性能的校园网络。该项目的实施使UAH研究人员能够进行影响整个国家的前沿研究，特别是在大数据管理和分析，空间探索和空间科学，网络安全，地球和大气科学，光学工程，航空航天和推进等领域。科学研究不仅对科学发现和UAH的本科和研究生STEM教育计划的扩展至关重要，在UAH完成的研究有助于地方，州和国家的经济发展和创造就业机会。UAH的许多研究计划涉及收集，分析，可视化和共享大量数据，并包括使用传感器和其他实时数据源。为了更好地支持数据密集型科学，该项目实现了一个快速，高度安全和高度灵活的网络环境，称为科学DMZ。科学DMZ由UAH校园内主要研究设施之间的100GE和40GE连接组成。通过使用软件定义网络（SDN）和OpenFlow，网络智能地选择科学DMZ专门用于安全，受保护的研究数据流。一个扩展的PerfSONAR实现用于监控和不断调整科学DMZ网络性能。 科学家和研究人员通过使用UAH Science DMZ体验安全，无摩擦的网络，进一步实现未来的数据密集型研究。
